Wild for Wild Gecko

October 22, 2018 by Nimi

During my years in Ghana, Wild Gecko was one of my favourite African arts and handcrafts shops. I used to go there at least once a month to buy jewellery for myself and gifts for friends abroad. Last week I was in Accra, my first time back in four years. Visiting Wild Gecko was like stepping …

The Pursuit of Happy, Healthy Hair

October 8, 2018October 9, 2018 by Nimi

It’s been a long time since I last blogged. I really need to stop life taking over and putting what I love on the back burner. But here I am again, and today I’m going through the hair products I discovered in 2018 and why I love them so much.   I’ve been hearing a …

Chocolate Treats from Hotel Chocolat

June 27, 2017 by Nimi

Confessions of a Chocoholic Hi. I’m Nimi and I’m a chocoholic. It feels good to finally get that off my chest as I’ve been in denial pretty much my whole life. I’ve unsuccessfully attempted to hide my love for chocolate ever since I was a child. So far, the only person I’m fooling is myself. …

June 15, 2017June 20, 2017 by Nimi

As more and more of my friends and family are becoming intrepid explorers, I’m spending more time thinking about great gift ideas for travellers in general, especially when birthdays and holidays arise. I like to think of gifts that are both practical and fun, items that they will enjoy using and ones that are easy …

K1, P2 – Knitting as a Hobby

June 4, 2017June 7, 2017 by Nimi

I recently rekindled an old passion, knitting as a hobby. My nan was a fantastic knitter, and my mother, whilst I don’t think she’s knitted or crocheted for many years, was decent at both. I must have been about 10 when I first tried my hand at knitting. My mother taught me the two basic …

Rituals Bed and Body Mist, My New Favourite Treat

May 12, 2017June 11, 2017 by Nimi

I recently discovered Rituals and promptly fell in love with two scents from the Rituals Bed and Body Mist range. Where have these been all my life? I’ve only had them a few weeks and I wear both A LOT! I can’t even choose which one I prefer. I walked into John Lewis to buy …

Gold Bio Collagen Facial Mask Review

May 3, 2016June 25, 2017 by Nimi

I look like a cross between the Oscar statuette and Iron Man, don’t I? This weird covering on my face is a gold face mask, the Gold Bio-Collagen Face Mask, that I picked up from Benetton on Chiswick High Road. When I was still living in Dubai, gold beauty treatments were heavily advertised in the 5-star …

The Library of Fragrance Review

April 11, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

Ahhh spring, probably my favourite season of the year and one that I missed a lot whilst living in the tropics and desert. The sight of flowers beginning to blossom, bare trees taking on a mantle of green as new leaves begin to show – it’s a miraculous sign of the world reawakening once again after …

Pure Fiji – A Product Review

April 7, 2016April 8, 2016 by Nimi

I learned about Pure Fiji quite recently through Anita, a friend of mine. Her vivid descriptions about this organic beauty range inspired me to invite her onto my blog to write about them. I thought I might have to twist her arm a little (a bit hard as Anita’s in Australia), but she’s a great …

London Markets: Portobello Road, Spitalfields & Camden – My Big Three

March 24, 2016March 25, 2016 by Nimi

I’ve been back in the UK for 12 months now and it’s only been during the last two weeks that I’ve finally dragged myself through my favourite London markets. The trip with my cousin AMP happened on two consecutive days – Saturday and Sunday and on both occasions we made a day of it. My …
